Abstract
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is the most common type of renal artery stenosis. It represents a common health problem with clinical presentations relevant to many medical specialties and carries a high risk for future cardiovascular and renal events, as well as overall mortality. The available evidence regarding the management of ARVD is conflicting. Randomized controlled trials failed to demonstrate superiority of percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty (PTRA) with or without stenting in addition to standard medical therapy compared with medical therapy alone in lowering blood pressure levels or preventing adverse renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ARVD, but they carried several limitations and met important criticism. Observational studies showed that PTRA is associated with future cardiorenal benefits in patients presenting with high-risk ARVD phenotypes (i.e. flash pulmonary oedema, resistant hypertension or rapid loss of kidney function). This clinical practice document, prepared by experts from the European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) board of the European Renal Association (ERA) and from the Working Group on Hypertension and the Kidney of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH), summarizes current knowledge in epidemiology, pathophysiology and diagnostic assessment of ARVD and presents, following a systematic literature review, key evidence relevant to treatment, with an aim to support clinicians in decision making and everyday management of patients with this condition.

Abstract
ABSTRACTRecurring and rapidly developing (flash) pulmonary edema is the hallmark of Pickering syndrome, affecting patients with hypertension and atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (either bilateral or unilateral) in a solitary functioning kidney, and impaired renal function. We herein report on a series of consecutive patients with recurrent hospital admissions for pulmonary edema, impaired renal function (chronic kidney disease class 4-5), and atherosclerotic bilateral renal artery stenosis, in whom Pickering syndrome had been long neglected. We also describe a streamlined diagnostic strategy entailing little or no need for contrast medium, thus carrying no risks of further worsening of renal function. This allowed us to make the correct diagnosis and opened the way to revascularization by percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stent, which provided swift recovery of kidney function with resolution of pulmonary congestion and long-term pulmonary edema- and dialysis-free survival in all cases. In summary, these findings support the following key messages: (1) considering the diagnosis of Pickering syndrome, followed by searching atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, is an essential step toward a life-saving revascularization that avoids dialysis and an otherwise poor outcome; and (2) a simplified strategy entailing little or no need for contrast medium, carrying no associated risks of deteriorating renal function, permits the diagnosis of Pickering syndrome.

Abstract
In recent years, endovascular treatments have become more common in patients with renal artery stenosis and aneurysm. Although the treatment algorithms are not universally accepted, endovascular therapy can be readily utilized for the appropriate indications in the context of surgical treatment for renovascular diseases. The most important factor to consider is that the correct indication is applied for such treatment. Although the applied procedures are believed to have minimal risk, any complications that occur may result in major problems. Moreover, the pathology that is being treated (e.g., hypertension, high serum creatinine concentration, or low glomerular filtration rate) must be well defined. As stent and balloon technologies continue to be developed, more positive results are expected in the coming years. In the present study, we reviewed the endovascular treatment algorithms for atherosclerotic renovascular disease and performed a narrative review of the current literature.

Abstract
A 79-year-old man developed bilateral intermittent claudication. Peritoneal dialysis had been initiated at 55 years of age to manage chronic renal failure. In addition, he underwent kidney transplantation at 61 years of age. His Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) was 0.82 and 0.71 for the right leg and left leg, respectively. Furthermore, his serum creatinine level had increased from 0.98 mg/dL to 2.38 mg/dL over the past 2 years. CT angiography revealed focal calcified stenosis in the terminal abdominal aorta. However, ultrasound revealed no significant stenotic lesion in the supplied artery bound to the transplanted kidney from the right external iliac artery. We performed endovascular therapy for abdominal aortic stenosis using the pressure gradient. Following the procedure, the patient's symptoms disappeared and the ABI increased to 1.25 and 1.14 in the right leg and left leg, respectively. Furthermore, the serum creatinine level improved to 0.96 mg/dL.

Abstract
Renal artery stenosis is the most common secondary cause of hypertension and predominantly caused by atherosclerosis. In suspected patients, a non-invasive diagnosis with ultrasound is preferred. Asymptomatic, incidentally found RAS does not require revascularization. In symptomatic patients requiring revascularization, renal artery stenting is the preferred therapy. Selecting appropriate patients for revascularization requires careful consideration of lesion severity and is optimized with a multidisciplinary team. All patients with atherosclerotic RAS should be treated with guideline-directed medical therapy, including hypertension control, diabetes control, statins, antiplatelet therapy, smoking cessation and encouraging activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE For patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), the role of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) remains inconclusive. This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the benefits of best medical therapy (BMT) plus PTRA and BMT alone in treating ARAS. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis, and searched for all randomized, controlled trials that reported patients with ARAS. The effectiveness and safety in the BMT plus PTRA and BMT alone groups were estimated, taking into account hypertension, stroke, renal events, cardiac events, and mortality. RESULTS Nine randomized, controlled trials involving 2309 patients were included. In the BMT plus PTRA group, the incidence of refractory hypertension was significantly lower compared with that in the BMT alone group (odds ratio 0.09; 95% confidence interval 0.01, 0.70). However, there were no significant differences in the rates of stroke, renal events, cardiac events, cardiac mortality, and all-cause mortality between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS PTRA plus BMT improves blood pressure in patients with ARAS, but there is insufficient evidence for this therapy in improving stroke, renal events, cardiac events, and cardiac and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Renovascular hypertension (RVH) is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension and can result in resistant hypertension. RVH is associated with an increased risk for progressive decline in renal function, cardiac destabilization syndromes including "flash" pulmonary edema, recurrent congestive heart failure, and cerebrocardiovascular disease. The most common cause of renal artery stenosis (RAS) is atherosclerotic lesions, followed by fibromuscular dysplasia. The endovascular technique of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) with or without stenting is one of the standard treatments for RAS. Randomized controlled trials comparing medical therapy with PTRA to medical therapy alone have failed to show a benefit of PTRA; however, the subjects of these randomized clinical trials were limited to atherosclerotic RAS patients, and patients with the most severe RAS, who would be more likely to benefit from PTRA, might not have been enrolled in these trials. This review compares international guidelines related to PTRA, reevaluates the effects of PTRA treatment on blood pressure and renal and cardiac function, discusses strategies for the management of RVH patients, and identifies factors that may predict which patients are most likely to benefit from PTRA.

Abstract
The benefit of balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting, for the treatment of patients with renal artery stenosis remains controversial. A number of randomized controlled trials have attempted to determine its efficacy but the matter remains unclear. A 2014 Cochrane review, which combined data from 8 trials, showed homogeneity among the trials with no significant benefit shown. This systematic review replicates the same research methods and meta-analysis while expanding it to include papers between 2014 and 2018. One of the trials included in the previous review published results in the interim. Additionally, 2 ongoing trials identified in the 2014 review are yet to publish any result. Meta-analysis of the reports showed no heterogeneity between trials and no significant improvement shown by balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting, versus medical therapy. Further studies are recommended in order to assess the benefits of balloon angioplasty for patients with more severe renal artery stenosis.

Rationale and study design for one-stop assessment of renal artery stenosis and renal microvascular perfusion with contrast-enhanced ultrasound for patients with suspected renovascular hypertension. Chin Med J (Engl) 2019; 132:63-68. [PMID: 30628960 PMCID: PMC6629313 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000000002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is always associated with abnormalities in renal microvascular perfusion (RMP). However, few imaging methods can simultaneously evaluate the degree of luminal stenosis and RMP. Thus, this study will aim to evaluate the feasibility of using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for assessing both RAS and RMP to achieve a one-stop assessment of patients with suspected renovascular hypertension. METHODS This will be a single-center diagnostic study with a sample size of 440. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and suspected of having resistant hypertension will be eligible. Patients with Stages 1-3 CKD will undergo CEUS and computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA). Values obtained by CEUS and CTA for diagnosing low-grade (lumen reduced by <60%) and high-grade (lumen reduced by ≥60%) RAS will be compared. Moreover, all patients will also undergo radionuclide imaging. The diagnostic value for RAS will be assessed by the receiver operating characteristic curve, including the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, negative predictive values, and area under the ROC. Pearson correlation analysis will be performed to assess the association between CEUS findings for RMP and glomerular filtration rate measured by a radionuclide imaging method. CONCLUSION The data gathered from this study will be used to evaluate the feasibility of expanding clinical applications of CEUS for evaluation of patients with suspected renovascular hypertension.
